Supervisors watching for the impatient and easily nauseated

Two members of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors were looking out for the claustrophobic and motion sick — along with the impatient — on Tuesday.

Supervisor Jake McGoldrick introduced a resolution asking Muni to refrain from wrapping buses in advertising that covers windows. McGoldrick said the advertising gives the feeling to riders that they are completely “boxed in.”

“People who suffer claustrophobia or nausea cannot see out the windows,” McGoldrick said, adding that it blocked the view of people in general who like to enjoy the beauty of the city.

And Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi was sufficiently irked by the pace of vote counting and ranked-choice tabulation by the Department of Elections this year. He asked the city attorney on Tuesday to draft a standard set of protocols for vote counting and reporting on Election

Day.

“Questions continue to ruminate and remain on our minds of why we weren’t able to get more expeditious answers,” Mirkarimi said, noting that independent groups tabulated the results before the city did.

By the way, the Department of Elections has yet to certify the vote but did run another tabulation of ranked-choice voting Monday. The results stayed the same, with Eric Mar winning by a slim margin in District One, David Chiu winning in District Three, David Campos taking District Nine and John Avalos capturing District 11.
